They won’t stop!!!

I think we’re started to be harassed?!?!

I think we just received 2 shepherding calls in a row?

Yesterday was the 3rd meeting we’ve missed in a row and my husband and I had a nagging feeling all day that after meeting we would have people stop by or at least text us asking where we were or if we were okay… well we we’re sitting in the living room when we heard the inevitable knocking…. Luckily our dogs started barking

and the house turned pretty chaotic and it gave us a little bit of an excuse as to why we couldn’t answer the door because they definitely saw us. We looked on the ring camera and saw it was my cousin (who is an elder at our congregation)and I think maybe his wife and 1 other person in the car. We didn’t even get a text or call saying they were stopping by so it definitely caught us off guard.

And again today no text,no call,no warning someone came (another one of my JW cousins and 2 other people I couldn’t tell exactly who) knocked on my front door and seriously stood in my front yard for over 5 minutes?! What is going on?!

Can someone explain what that was?

Me and husband are doing a phone call with the people we do study with to cancel but what else should we do to be left alone?!?

For some context we live within walking distance to my cousins who are JW but they’ve NEVERRRR came to our house till now so we know it’s not random

Last week I posted this post for some more context

Want to stop but how?!

Me and my husband are both PIMO (I’m new to this Reddit thread but I’m assuming that means physically in mentally out) we started studying about 11 months ago because we have a few extended family members who are JW and we were curious so we went to 1 meeting and immediately started a Bible study that same week, and we got REALLY INTO IT REALLY FAST we were even talking about baptism only a few months into studying, welllll I love to research and deep dive into everything and obviously JW hate when you research because every time I bring something up in study we haven’t covered yet they QUICKLY change the subject to something else and it’s almost like they don’t want me to know about the deeper stuff because every time I try to start a conversation they say something along the lines of “oh we will talk about that later for now lets talk about….” Or “I’ll get back to you on that…”

So me and my husband just decided to get our questions answered elsewhere and it lead us down quite a lot of rabbit holes and now we are wanting to leave because we don’t agree with a lot of the stuff that is being taught. Once we looked into the things that they have been hiding and quickly glazing over we realized that we got sucked into something without even realizing what was being taught it feels like brainwashing honestly…. But we’ve been acting like everything is completely fine we’ve stopped asking questions and I’ve been really quiet during study but how do we start the conversation about leaving? We actually like this couple and have hung out with them a little outside of study and they are honestly good people so I don’t really want to blindside them, But also it’s kinda crazy I care so much about these people who I know are not going to care about us once we leave.

Does anyone have advice on how to tell them we’re done studying? And does anyone else feel like they were kinda brainwashed and didn’t even realize what was happening till one day it feels like you woke up from a fever dream?!?!?!
